<p>VHR is delighted to commemorate our 20th anniversary, and we are extremely proud of our hard-working employees&rsquo; accomplishments. We took this chance to reflect on how far VHR has come since its inception in 2003 and anticipate continuing our success in the years ahead.

<p>Over the past two decades, VHR has expanded its services and provided jobs and ethical services to thousands of technical clients and candidates across 52 countries. We are grateful for the support and trust of our clients and candidates over the years and look forward too many more years of shared success.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Before Covid-19 the VHR team had grown to 100 employees across the 9 offices worldwide, achieving a revenue of &pound;36 Million. However, the pandemic had an unprecedented effect on our workforce due to the nature of our work and the severe lack of demand that our industries were facing. In the years following the team has bounced back and grown rapidly to 54 individuals around 8 offices globally. The ever-growing team covers 9 departments and enables us to give the upmost best advice and care to our candidates on behalf of our clients.</p>

<p>Commenting on VHR, the winner in the International Trade category, the chairman of the judges said: &ldquo;Congratulations to UK-based international technical recruitment specialists VHR for responding to the uncertainty around Brexit by targeting new overseas markets outside Europe, enabling it to report that 72% of business is international. The company&rsquo;s strategy to take on staff with second languages with a number coming from outside the UK was a wise move that has boosted overseas contract placements and helped when setting up onsite offices. VHR has generated significant foreign revenue and helped to position the UK as an expert in technical recruitment.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Employer of the Year</h3>
<p>This award category looked at how companies invest in staff, have a strong equality, diversity, and inclusion policy, and have improved staff benefits and what opportunities they have to give feedback. They asked to demonstrate the ways in which your company is the best place to work in relation to your size and sector.</p>
<p>Commenting on VHR, the winner in the Employer of the Year category, the chairman of the judges said: &ldquo;By supporting staff to develop their careers and through the provision of a marvellous line-up of benefits, Global technical recruitment consultancy VHR has established itself as a great place to work. This is a company that values and rewards staff for their hard work. All staff are fully supported with training and individual development plans to reach their full potential. VHR&rsquo;s ethical recruitment policy is particularly inspiring for its commitment to equality. VHR&rsquo;s people policy is the backbone of the company helping it to achieve dazzling success and win a host of prestigious awards.&rdquo;</p>

VHR Win A Southern Enterprise Award

<p>VHR are delighted to announce that our Founder and CEO Danny Brooks has been awarded an MBE.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Royal Recognition for Recruitment Services</strong></h3>
<p>Danny was named in the 2021 New Years&rsquo; Honours List for services to International Trade. Danny was one of only 12 business leaders to be honoured for services to International Trade this year.</p>
<p>An appointment to the Order of the British Empire, an MBE (Member of the British Empire) is awarded for outstanding achievement or service to the community in Britain and around the world.</p>
<p>The honours system was established by King George during&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/world-war-1/">World War One</a>&nbsp;in 1917 to honour the efforts of civilians and servicemen in non-combat roles. Danny joins an exclusive list of world-leading entrepreneurs and innovators from a variety of backgrounds.</p>
<p>The UK Government&rsquo;s International Trade Secretary, Liz Truss, comments:</p>
<p>&lsquo;All those being honoured have made a terrific contribution to the UK over the past year, whether it be leading the fight against coronavirus or helping champion free and fair trade across the world. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their hard work.</p>
<p>More trade and investment is vital to delivering the jobs and economic growth we need to recover from the pandemic and build back better. Our innovative and go-getting exporters are critical to that, and we will continue to support them as they look to sell more of their wares overseas this coming year and beyond.&rsquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>International Business Success</strong></h3>
<p>Since its inception in 2003, VHR has provided employment for over 12,000 people across 52 different countries. The business has achieved revenues in excess of &pound;250 Million, of which 73% has been derived from international clients.</p>
<p>The honour is further recognition for Danny, who was named Global Director of the Year by the Institute of Directors (IoD) in 2018 &amp; 2020.</p>
<p>On receiving his MBE, Danny comments:</p>
<p>&lsquo;To receive an MBE is a great honour. The honour belongs to all the talented people that work at VHR and who have helped drive the business forward and across the globe over the past 17 years.</p>
<p>VHR&rsquo;s first clients were based in Switzerland, Mauritius and Singapore. International business has always been at the heart of what we do. We work with our clients to create talent where it is does not exist through training, relocation or a combination of both. The ethical treatment of our workers is at the forefront of what we do and we are proud to have co-founded the Fair Labour Alliance, which promotes ethical working practices across supply chains.</p>
<p>After a challenging year this is a welcome piece of good news and sets us up for 2021 on a very, very positive note. I am beyond honoured and thankful to have been awarded an MBE, and look forward to continuing to drive business growth for our clients and career prospects for our candidates in 2021.&rsquo;</p>

VHR: Professional Services Firm of the Year

<h3>VHR are delighted to be featured in this month&rsquo;s Recruitment International magazine, where we share our expertise on recruitment marketing in 2018.</h3>
<h5><a href="http://library.myebook.com/RI/ri-february-2018/1018/#page/26"><u>February&rsquo;s Recruitment International magazine</u></a>&nbsp;features VHR&rsquo;s Operations Director, Paul Robinson, on marketing trends in the recruitment industry and the challenges and opportunities that recruitment companies will face in the coming year.</h5>
<h5>Paul discusses the potential opportunities for recruitment marketing teams in 2018, and how marketers can access and utilise these to best support the recruitment industry.</h5>
<h5>&lsquo;The real opportunities for marketing in 2018 lie in collaboration with business development teams,&rsquo; reveals Paul. &lsquo;The uncertain political climates of Brexit and Trump, combined with the current behavioural trend of instant gratification will force marketers to move away from traditional recruitment marketing methods and think outside the box.&rsquo;</h5>
<h5>&lsquo;Rapidly advancing job board technology is a recognisable threat to the high costs of recruitment services, but ultimately job boards cannot compete with human interaction and tailored recruitment experiences. By working together and pooling short-term and long-term ways of thinking, business development and marketing teams will generate original campaigns to build new and long-lasting client and candidate relationships.&rsquo;</h5>
